The seeds are sown in this way, and as for how to break through the ground, it will take time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Yang Feng is not short of time.

He is willing to spend ten years watching the seeds of rebellion bloom into bloody red flowers, but he thinks that it will not take so long, just now that the British are frantically squeezing the colonies, soon those original rebels will be unbearable to their king, but those who go to the Americas, few are full of loyalty and respect to the royal family and the government, in fact, they are all rebellious ministers and thieves, they just need a little impetus or a fire, and now the British government has lit the fire.

And he's pouring oil.

He did not believe that the colonists who could not bear it could endure it for ten years.

That's it for the Americas.

And the sound of gunfire elsewhere is gradually falling silent.

During this period of time on the battlefield in the Western Regions, the Ming army had basically bulldozed the Kazakh divisions, and took all the land around the Yibohai Sea all the way to the Irtysh River, or the Ming Dynasty map, and then added a river province on the Ming map. In the future, the Western Regions will be divided into two provinces, the north is the province in the river, of course, this river refers to the meaning between the river and the Syr Darya, and the south is the province of Lingling, which is dominated by the Amu Darya River and the Pamir Plateau, which is basically the five countries of Central Asia plus Afghanistan in the later generations. Because there was a lack of enough people, and almost all of them were subjects, the province of Kazhong was temporarily administered by Beiting, and then a city was to be built in Karaganda, Semiy, and Pavlodar.

The former then served as the provincial capital, and relied on the surrounding coalfields and iron ore mines to build steel plants, and then continued to expand the railway line outward, eventually forming a railway network in the Western Regions.

Yang Feng is currently in the Western Regions is imitating the strategy of Tsarist Russia, with the pace of the Ming army's advance, with a spider web-like railway line, firmly covering the vast land of Central Asia, of course, he will not play the Soviet Union's inexplicable territorial policy, he wants to play the Mu bearded set, those who believe in me brother do not believe in me die, use the oracle book and guns to complete the assimilation, and then use time to complete the real conquest, destroy everything old, let the people there forget their history, forget their beliefs, forget their language.

A hundred years from now, they will angrily denounce all those who try to recall it all......

Traitors!

As for South Africa, there is practically no fighting there in the real sense of the word at all.

The Zulus there were completely unqualified for the enemy, and the first batch of Ming troops to complete the new reorganization, that is, armed with a large number of heavy machine guns, were thrown there, and then gradually swept up in battalions, and a large number of mercenaries from slave traders joined the ranks. They marched forward on the South African plateau like a hunt, broke through all the Zulu tribes and threw the young men into the slave ships, and then threw the rest aside to leave it alone, and by this time the most Ming army had reached the original historical Johannesburg.

And then......

They discovered a gold mine.

A huge gold mine.

When the estimated reserves of this gold mine came out of the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor, whether it was the cabinet officials, the military generals, or even the attendants, they were all stupid, completely stupid, and their brains were blank.

Because the number that His Majesty the Emperor said was......

"One hundred thousand tons."

Yang Feng sat on the dragon chair and said indifferently while drinking tea.

"Your Majesty, how much did you say?"

Prime Minister Shao said tremblingly.

"100,000 tons, am I too old to speak clearly?"

Yang Feng said innocently.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you're not talking about 100,000 catties?"

Prime Minister Shao continued to tremble and said.

"Of course."

Yang Feng said.

He really didn't lie, the Rand gold ore reserves are 52,000 tons, which is equivalent to nearly 90,000 tons in the Ming Dynasty, he said that 100,000 tons is no different, and South Africa is not only one Rand, if you really want to calculate it, he said that 100,000 tons is less, of course, this number is terrifying enough.

Then the whole hall was like a beehive that had been stabbed with a rod, and everyone screamed in amazement.

100,000 tons, this is 100,000 tons of gold, this is not 100,000 tons of steel, not 100,000 tons of copper, not 100,000 tons of silver, but 100,000 tons of gold, what does that mean? At present, the vault of the Ming Imperial Bank, that is, the underground reserve of the palace, has hoarded less than 10,000 tons of gold, which is the Ming Dynasty spent 20 years, by various means, conservatively estimated to kill tens of millions of people, and in the world in war, trade, mining and other ways to accumulate up, it is estimated that this has exceeded more than half of the total amount of gold in the world, which is the backing of the entire economy of the Ming Dynasty, which is the guarantee that the dragon yuan issued by the Ming Imperial Bank is popular in any country in the world.

Because everyone knows that the red piece of paper in their hands represents gold, and the gold is in the underground treasure house of the Ying Emperor Palace of the Ming Empire.

It can be said that less than 10,000 tons of gold is the foundation of the Ming Empire.

And now, Emperor Yang told them that there were 100,000 tons of gold in the newly discovered gold mines in Zhaonan Province, which was simply a rhythm that scared people to death, considering that Emperor Yang would definitely not lie, so it means that this 100,000 tons of gold is real......

It's even more terrifying.

"Don't be surprised, there must be no problem with this number, there are 100,000 tons of gold in that pit, but this 100,000 tons of gold is not to say that it can be taken directly, it needs to dig out the ore a little bit, and then refine it little by little, this process I think will last at least three or four hundred years, so this number is just scary, in fact, it is just a number, really to calculate, which of our gold mines does not have a few thousand tons of reserves? So I'm saying, you just have to listen. ”

Yang Feng said.

Can you just listen to this? Do you know what this gold mine means once it is made public?

Prime Minister Shao sneered.

Of course, he also understood that Emperor Yang was deliberately going to open this gold mine, because of the rapid economic development in recent years, the Imperial Bank has issued banknotes on a large scale, which has caused some concern among the people, after all, there are too many banknotes issued by the Imperial Bank, so much so that as long as you are not a fool, you can understand that the reserves of the palace's gold and silver treasures are definitely not worth it. That is to say, the Imperial Bank is over-issued, and it is not over-issued little by little, but several times over-issued, that is to say, the banknotes circulating in the market, plus the banknotes deposited by the private bank, must be far beyond the payment capacity of the Imperial Bank.

There is no doubt about it.

Isn't it just about issuing more money instead of using metal money?

It doesn't matter in the Ming Dynasty, the common people know that there is an emperor as a guarantee, whether they have gold and silver coins or banknotes in their hands, as long as the emperor can ensure that they can buy what they need, the imperial bank is opened by the emperor, what kind of person is the emperor, that is a god, that is a saint, he will definitely not deceive people, even if the gold of the imperial bank is not enough, then he may directly turn stones into gold, when needed, even if they can't, they can invite a friend from the fairy world, and just find a mountain and it will be conjured.

Well, that's what the sacrifices of the shrine say.

But this statement is not good after a long time, and those foreigners and people from subject countries are not necessarily so convinced, in recent years, the number of gold coins exchanged for dragon dollar banknotes has increased, although it has not affected the gold reserves of the Imperial Bank, but this trend is not good after all, the head of the Imperial Bank has proposed to stop the exchange of small amounts, and change to only exchange large amounts, but this will affect the credibility of the Imperial Bank, so His Majesty the Emperor did not agree.

At the end of the day, it's still too much money.

In fact, everyone understands this, but at present, the economic development of the Ming Dynasty is too fast, the transaction volume is too large, and it has exceeded the bearing capacity of gold and silver currency, simply put, the money is not enough, and another point is that the railway construction investment of the Ming Dynasty is too much, because the Imperial Bank bears the responsibility of the central bank, and the Imperial Bank is opened by the emperor himself and no one supervises, so the financial investment of the Ming Dynasty, a large part of which is supported by printing money, relying solely on taxes is definitely unable to bear the railway construction, military expenses and compulsory education of the people, In particular, the emperor often pouts his head to carry out big projects, such as the construction of Fengshen Palace, the construction of Xijing, etc., and these require huge investment.

Therefore, Daming's finances are actually a confused account.

The rest of the fiscal revenue is not enough to be paid by the emperor, but where does the emperor's advance come from? Although the royal family's enterprises make money, it is definitely not enough, after all, the royal family still has to bear the brocade guard, the Holy Sect also has a large number of university orphanages and nursing homes, and even a large part of the hospitals also rely on royal subsidies, so what should the emperor do if he doesn't have enough money?

Printing money.

The printing plant of the Imperial Bank started the machine, and then the dragon dollar bills came out in a steady stream.

And now, this gold mine solves all the problems.

A gold mine with reserves of 100,000 tons, plus gold mines in the East and West Jinzhou, Yinzhou, and other places in China, the gold reserves in the hands of the royal family are close to 120,000 tons, such a terrifying reserve is enough to dispel all concerns from the outside world, and become the most solid foundation for the credibility of the Ming Imperial Bank, and any doubts are wiped out in front of the 100,000 tons of gold reserves. As for when the gold will be mined, it doesn't matter anymore, anyway, the gold will not fly away there, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty also ensures that no one can snatch it, and the credibility of the royal family also guarantees that there will be no other accidents, so what else do you care? It is only right to continue to make money with peace of mind.

With the credibility guarantee of 100,000 tons of gold mines, the Ming Imperial Bank can continue to print more banknotes, and the Ming finance can also be free from any restrictions, can build more railways, can build more warships, can carry out more large projects, and then the economy of the Ming Dynasty will continue to develop at a high speed, and this unprecedented prosperity will continue.

Although all this is based on a scam.

After all, people like these high-ranking members of the empire know that even 100,000 tons of gold may not be enough for the banknotes issued by the imperial bank.

But that's the economy. (To be continued.) )
